Skip the training wheels and get your budding cyclist riding a Strider Balance Bike as young as 18 months! We strongly recommend a balance bike vs training wheels as a learn-to-ride system, and Strider is the “Zamboni” of balance bikes: they’re the best!

The Strider 12 Sport is the perfect bike to take your child from baby steps to big strides, all without busting out a toolkit (tool-free seat and handlebar adjustment AND tires that never go flat). The Strider Sport has a seat height range from 28-48 cm (11-19 in.), which means it fits a huge range of inseam lengths (30-51 cm [12-20 in.]). The cushy, padded seat and an additional extra-long seatpost means your child will get years out of their Strider.

Typical ages: 18 months - 5 years.
